Hello, wine experts!

I'd like to send wine as a gift to someone in Connecticut, but all
online wine retailers I checked do not ship to Connecticut. Why? How
can I get wine shipped to Connecticut?

Thank you,
Elana

Hi,

For one CT booze laws only allow the sale of booze during the week and
Sat only. Also can not sell to minors...and shipment can be delivered
to minors.

I am in Fairfield CT and would be happy to help if i can?

WElcome to the world of wine and the draconian US laws of shipment. In
all too many states it is a criminal act to ship (and often to receive)
wine. Protection of minors repeatedly comes from the lips of
politicians, but not too many minors are A. short on alcohol from other
sources, or B buy qulaity wines for their Friday night parties. No the
answer lies with the protection of the liquor wholesalers who are
today's direct descendants of the Bootleggers of the 30's. Though they
no longer have to dodge the feds, they still look out for their money
with a tight fist.

Via well funded "lobbying" and politicians willing to be "influenced" by
such "lobbying" - is that the way it goes?

Well, mark this as a COMMERCIAL REPLY, but we can legally ship wine to
